Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1435: Chapter 535: Rapid Progress, Han Zhan Wakes Up_3

”The Golden Core Ascendant Masters were said to cultivate a pleased Divine Ability over the span of several decades, even a hundred years, right?”

Yet here, the Family Head had minor achievements in just three to five days, made rapid progress in seven or eight months, and reached completion in one or two years.

What’s more, the Cultivation Technique he practiced didn’t appear to be of the quick-success type; it was stable and steady, with a solid foundation!

Perhaps that’s just how a Demon Monarch comes to be!

In Cheng Haixin’s reverential gaze, Luo Chen stopped walking, his eyes slightly narrowed as if sensing something.

A moment later, he nodded in satisfaction.

”Xu Muxian did well, he has refined a First-Order Medium Grade Ning Shui Pill.”

Just now, he had sniffed out a very faint fragrance of a pill.

His Divine Consciousness spread out, and he saw a young man in a small Pill Room, excitedly collecting pills.

That was Xu Muxian.

Cheng Haixin said with a gentle smile, ”All of this is thanks to the Ascendant Master’s nurturing.”

”It’s Xu Muxian’s Elixir refining talent that allowed for such progress.”

Luo Chen modestly uttered a word, though he hardly concealed the self-satisfaction on his face.

Without his cultivation, would Xu Muxian have tried his hand with so many Lower Grade materials?

Without his guidance, how could the other party possibly refine Medium Grade Elixirs in a mere three years?

With his current insight, cultivating a talented seedling into a Pill Refiner was simply too easy.

Moreover, he didn’t even need to provide the resources himself!

”Here are ten vials of Top-grade Ning Shui Pills, you give them to Xu Muxian.”

Cheng Haixin was taken aback, ”Ascendant Master, he has already ascended to the Sixth Level of Qi Refinement in three years, which is fast enough. Why the need for Top-grade Ning Shui Pills? Normal Ascendant Grade ones would have already been luxurious enough.”

Luo Chen shook his head, ”No matter what, he is still my Registered Disciple, and should enjoy some benefits. Besides, these Ning Shui Pills were refined by me while I got bored; keeping them has no great use. Oh, right.”

As he spoke, Luo Chen took out several Jade Vials from his storage ring and stuffed them into Cheng Haixin’s arms.

”Jade Dew Pills, you’ve used them before. These six Ascendant Grade ones should last you half a year.”

Upon hearing this, Cheng Haixin’s breath quickened.

Ascendant Grade Jade Dew Pills!

Previously, Luo Chen had refined some Elixirs when he had nothing else to do, including the Jade Dew Pills.

At that time, Luo Chen casually rewarded them to his hardworking Cheng Haixin.

After taking them, the woman ascended to the First Level Foundation Establishment Realm on the same day.

Later, with the remaining Jade Dew Pills and supplemented by the Second Order Ascendant Grade Cave Mansion allocated to her on Yao Yue Island, her Cultivation speed soared, and she even leaped to the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment!

Such progress had indeed stunned all the Cultivators among the 36 Flying Swallow Islands!

It was also for this reason that she earned the nickname Yao Yue Fairy.

She adopted the name of the Yao Yue Island where Luo Chen resided as her Daoist name, to highlight the favor she received from Luo Chen.

Cheng Haixin had no displeasure in this and gladly accepted it.

And this time, Luo Chen gave her Ascendant Grade Jade Dew Pills!

If used well, perhaps she, Cheng Haixin, could ascend to the Fifth Level Foundation Establishment this year!

With her Dual Spirit Roots talent, having studied the Dao Scriptures at six, and laid the foundation with Qi and Body Refinement, she officially started her cultivation at twelve and spent twenty-four years, barely achieving Core Formation success with her family’s cultivation.

This was already a swift speed.

If she were to ascend to the Fifth Level of Foundation Establishment within five years of that, it would be truly unfathomable!

For a moment, the woman’s rapid breathing caused her ample chest to tremble violently.

The more she associated with him, the name of Demon King Qingyang seemed more and more undeserved!

Was he of Demon Path behavior?

He was clearly a kind elder, a senior on the Path of Immortal, sparing the Lower Order Cultivators from overly harsh treatment and showing the demeanor of an exalted figure lifting up the younger generation.

The world’s misunderstanding of him ran too deep.

Luo Chen glanced at her, then proceeded to step forward, with the somewhat bewildered woman following behind him.

”In addition, your Cheng Family’s contribution points are about enough, you can inform your elder brother to come to the Yao Yue Stele to accept the bestowal of the ’Green Sun Pill Scripture’.”

As he finished speaking, Luo Chen disappeared into the depths of the palace complex.

The woman froze in place as if struck by a blow.

After a while, she bowed deeply.

”Thank you, Master!”

Having said that, she hurriedly left the island and flew towards the Black Swan Island.

...

On Yao Yue Island, as Luo Chen watched the Glint of her departure, he couldn’t help but shake his head and chuckle to himself.

In these three to four years, for the ”Green Sun Pill Scripture,” the Cheng Family had greatly diminished their vital energy.

The seemingly evenly distributed share of five hundred thousand per family, under many small clans unable to muster the necessary strength, ended up being completely shouldered by a few large clans intent on achieving Core Formation.

Among those, the Cheng Family was the most zealous.

Thus, they also paid the most.

Not to mention the cost of a million, they even completely halted the cultivation of the clan’s younger generations.

Over the years, the Cheng Family’s clan output had all been devoted to collecting and purchasing medicinal materials.

That Monster Hunting Ship was also frequently set sail, venturing to the deep sea areas to catch large Second Order Sea Demons.

Even so, their actual contribution points were still somewhat lacking.

It was just because Cheng Haixin had indeed been very devoted and helpful to him over the years that Luo Chen opened a back door for them.

”However, cultivating my ’Green Sun Pill Scripture’ is no easy task!”

Each time he thought of Cheng Dou’s somewhat impatient and occasionally crazed temperament, Luo Chen couldn’t help but curl his lips.

The ”Green Sun Pill Scripture” originated from the ”Dust Origin Technique.”

Even though much of it was simplified, the difficulty of cultivation was still very high, and he was not optimistic that the current batch of cultivators from the 36 Flying Swallow Islands could successfully ascend to Core Formation.

On the contrary, the possibility of Core Formation for Cheng Haixin, who had been immersed in his presence and occasionally received his guidance, was somewhat greater.

”I wonder if, with my abilities, I could cultivate a cultivator with Dual Spirit Roots to the Golden Core Period within a hundred years?”

Luo Chen’s lips quirked upward, as if he were conducting an experiment.

After all, it wasn’t his resources that were being expended!

He turned and entered the Cultivation Room.

The Array was activated, isolating prying eyes from the outside and gathering the nearby Spirit Qi to its maximum extent on the inside.

On his Attribute Panel, his First Order Spirit Gathering Array had already reached Finalization.

Moreover, with the support of the major families of the Flying Swallow Islands, they had established a large-scale Second Order Spirit Gathering Array around Yao Yue Island, collecting even more Heaven and Earth Qi.

Consequently, even though the grade of the Spirit Veins on this island remained a Third-Order Lower Grade,

the density of the Spirit Qi had already closely approached that of a Third-Order Middle-tier.

This was also one of the reasons why his Dao Cultivation was increasingly refined, and he was getting closer and closer to the Fourth layer of Golden Core.

Sitting cross-legged, Luo Chen opened his mouth and exhaled, and a Small Tripod appeared in front of him, which rapidly grew to ten feet in size in the breeze.

Looking at the Primordial Chaos Tripod, which was connecting with his mind more closely, Luo Chen showed a look of satisfaction.

Judged from the point of the Foundation Establishment Stage, his current level of refinement for this Tripod had reached ten out of ten!

It was enough to unleash all the might of this treasure to its fullest.

However, it was clearly not the true ”fullest.”

A good Magic Item could amplify a cultivator’s strength.

Especially one’s Natal Magic Item that matched the cultivator’s attributes!

That kind of amplification could be onefold, twofold, or even several times over!

Clearly, the Primordial Chaos Tripod did not yet achieve such amplification.

The problem was due to the unprocessed raw materials absorbed during its creation –

there were too many impurities!

”Continue with the refinement then!”

Luo Chen sighed, Qi Power surged, and his Divine Consciousness enveloped the space.

Not only that, but he also exhaled wisp after wisp of green flames that took the form of nine Fire Dragons, swirling around the Small Tripod and exhaling green flames.

He was emulating Min Longyu’s Nine Turns Flame Dragon Array to refine his Natal Magic Item.

The only regret was that he didn’t have the Formation Maps of the Nine Turns Flame Dragon Array; this method had only the form but not the essence.

Nevertheless, it was still much quicker than ordinary refinement techniques.

”I must find some time to search for the Formation Maps of the Nine Turns Flame Dragon Array.”

With that thought passing through his mind, Luo Chen continued refining the Magic Item.

This was his daily routine. When his Qi Power was nearly exhausted, he would stop, then cultivate his Natal Qi Technique to replenish his Qi Power and simultaneously advance his Cultivation Level.

With such cyclical progress, his rapidly advancing Realm also became increasingly solid.

Years of cultivation had led Luo Chen to an understanding of solidifying one’s foundation.

Time slowly passed by.

Just as Luo Chen’s Qi Power waned and he was about to withdraw the Prosperity and Decline True Fire, his consciousness suddenly stirred.

The next moment, the green flames suddenly flared, enveloping the Primordial Chaos Tripod intensely.

The nine heads of the Fire Dragons loomed above the space within the Tripod, as if watching their prey.

Luo Chen let out a light sigh.

”Elder, now that you have awakened, why not meet openly and honorably instead of spying on Luo in the shadows?”

From within the Tripod came a soft, wry laugh.

”Young friend, with such an array like yours, how could this old man dare to show himself haphazardly.”
